This film was a close study film for my AS Film Studies examination, and I have honestly fell in love with it.
It sends a striking message towards how the 'not so better off' side of society have to live and perform their day to day routine.
Ken Loach is a director who's purpose is to point out these 'bad points' of life and show them in a different light so that everybody can relate and understand that dramatic lifestyle.
Martin Compston is amazing as Liam, showing humour, pain, humiliation and above all commitment to his chosen path.
I agree completely with Ken Loach's and Paul Laverty's disgust at the film being certified as an 18. I am 17 and can completely relate to the language used by the characters within the story - that is how teens today speak!
